Forever Love (Reba McEntire song)

"Forever Love" is a song written by Liz Hengber, Deanna Bryant and Sunny Russ, and recorded by American country music artist Reba McEntire. It was released in July 1998 as the second single from her album, If You See Him. The song reached #4 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in November 1998.^[1]

It was also the title song to a made-for-television movie of the same name which aired the same year, starring Reba and Tim Matheson.

Critical reception

Deborah Evans Price of Billboard gave the song a mixed review, praising the "sentimental lyric" and "pretty melody" while criticizing the "overly lush pop production". She also criticized McEntire's vocal by saying that it "bounces between being appropriately vulnerable and intimate during the verses to going a little too far on the soaring chorus."^[2]
